The 2028 Bingham Cup and Amanda Mark Cup have six clubs in the running to host, and International Gay Rugby has revealed the full shortlist. The race to stage the world’s premier inclusive rugby tournament is now well under way.
The 2028 Bingham Cup bidders
- Emerald Warriors, Dublin, Ireland
- Leeds Hunters, Leeds, England
- Orlando Otters, Orlando, USA

From the Pacific coastline of Vancouver to the heart of Yorkshire and the shores of Perth, each club is ready to welcome the global IGR family. Read more about the Bingham Cup and the Amanda Mark Cup.
Why the 2028 Bingham Cup matters
The 2028 Bingham Cup is far more than a tournament. It is a celebration of unity, diversity and the game everyone loves, breaking down barriers and creating family across borders. Rugby’s global governing body, World Rugby, recognises International Gay Rugby as the representative organisation for LGBTQ+ rugby.
What happens next
The winning bid will be announced in Brisbane during the 2026 Bingham Cup and Amanda Mark Cup, hosted by the Brisbane Hustlers from 19 to 23 August 2026. Until then, the global community can rally behind their favourite host city.
